How much memory?

Anyway, this is actually normal. It is done to preserve battery life.
Turn off Speedstep in the BIOS and adjust your power settings to Full,
or something like it, when on battery and the problem will go away.

And you'll get about 1/2 the battery life.



This question is eerily similar to the poster below who had added a 2gb
SODIMM to a V1000 (when specs only allow for 1gb/2gb max capacity).

It just appears the poster has had a name change.

right. and he/she dismissed my previous suggestion. but let him/her waste
time with all the other suggestions. speedstep or any other power saving
measure should not result in a delay of a typed letter from appearing on the
screen. the cause of this behavior is because of what i previously
mentioned.



What makes you so sure that other suggestions are wasteful and yours
is the only one right?

I'm not so sure your suggestion is correct but I don't like Nortons
either due to its quirks so I can't say you're wrong either. I still
favor the lack of ram or checking processes first.

The OP should weed thru each suggestion and hopefully one of them will
work or solve the problem.
